Conclusion:
Before you apply for a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, you should be convinced that you really enjoy working with computers, electricity and electrical devices. You should also be enthusiastic about the content of the course. If you are unsure about these questions, you should consider which other degree courses are also an option for you. You have received several suggestions in the individual evaluations of your answers.
If you do not meet the admission requirements because you have an apprenticeship qualification without a vocational baccalaureate, it is best to find out about your options from one of the providers of vocational baccalaureate courses. You can find some schools on Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch under Berufsmaturität. And if a technical or commercial vocational baccalaureate is not possible with the profession you have learned, ask the university of applied sciences about the possibility of an admission course. This may allow you to catch up on the math and technical subjects you have not studied.
Financing a degree course is not always easy. Several thousand francs have to be raised over 3-4 years to cover living expenses, tuition fees and possibly accommodation at the place of study. If your private financing options are not sufficient and you are unable to obtain a scholarship, you can also try to obtain educational grants from a foundation. If this is not enough to finance your further education alone, it is sometimes possible to obtain a loan from a private source. Some banks and credit institutions also offer educational loans. A good argument for financing further education is the relatively quick amortization of costs through wage increases. Do the following calculation: How much would a wage increase of 10% per year amount to? How many years would you need to recoup the costs of the course? How much more will you earn over your entire working life as a result of this pay rise? In most cases, this is a six-figure sum, which confirms that training or further education is the best personal investment there is.
The time required for full-time study should not be underestimated. Going out, vacations and spontaneous wellness weekends often fall by the wayside. However, this time usually passes relatively quickly. The prospect of better job opportunities and more pay should be motivation enough to get through this time. It often helps to organize yourself into study groups. It also makes sense to stick with it right from the start and schedule fixed study times. Good learning effects can be achieved by creating summaries and mind maps. Flashcard systems help with memorization. There are many tools and ideas to make learning easier. You can obtain the guide "The personal learning strategy" free of charge if you register with a school via Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch.
If you have doubts about whether you will pass the final exam, you can expect that every school has an interest in ensuring that as many of your students as possible pass the final exams. Talk to your head teacher or course leader and ask about support options. But with good motivation, perseverance and hard work, it is generally possible to pass these exams. If you suffer from exam anxiety, good preparation, various practical tips, therapeutic treatments or, in severe cases, even medication can help. You can obtain the guide "Overcoming exam anxiety" if you register with a school via Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch. Here you will also findsuitable providerson the subject of test anxiety.
The benefits of further training are usually measured in terms of a higher salary, more challenging tasks or promotions. This presupposes that you make an effort to change your professional position accordingly and, if necessary, are able to assert your demands. If you have already experienced that this is not always so easy for you, you could also check whether personal job coaching could be of benefit to you in addition to further training.
Now it's up to you to decide. If in doubt, seek personal advice from a school or external advice center. If you order course materials from a school via www.ausbildung-weiterbildung.ch, you will receive a free educational or school consultation worth CHF 150.00 on request.
